In hindsight, Buffalo Springfield can be regarded as a supergroup that didn't stick around long enough to be recognized as such. Though their tenure was relatively brief, lasting from 1966 to 1968, Buffalo Springfield was a pivotal rock group with an organic, home-grown approach that reverberated well into the Seventies. They released three albums - Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield Again and Last Time Around - that wove strands of folk, country, pop, soul and rock into a stylistic patchwork that took a rootsy, symbiotic approach. Buffalo Springfield also recorded one of rock's greatest topical songs, "For What It's Worth." A cautionary number inspired by clashes between police and youthful protesters on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip, it was the only Buffalo Springfield single that made the Top Forty, reaching #7 in 1967. Buffalo Springfield converged on California from different backgrounds and locales. Guitarists Stephen Stills and Richie Furay had both been members of the Au Go-Go Singers, a sprawling folk group. Bassist Bruce Palmer, drummer Dewey Martin and guitarist Neil Young were all Canadian-born. In 1966, Stills and Furay reconnected with acquaintances Young and Palmer in a Los Angeles traffic jam. Martin rounded out the group, and Buffalo Springfield jelled into a unit whose tight, energetic live shows at places like the Whiskey a Go-Go (where they alternated with the Byrds as house band) have become the stuff of legend. The group boasted a large and almost uncontainable pool of talent. Stills, Young and Furay were all formidable writers, guitarists and vocalists. When bassist Palmer got deported to Canada following a drug bust, producer Jim Messina - himself a singer, songwriter and guitarist with a predilection for country-rock and folk-flavored pop - joined the band. Internecine squabbles, particularly between Stills and Young, led to Buffalo Springfield's disbanding, but not before they'd recorded a trio of classic albums that foreshadowed any number of directions rock would follow in their wake. The solo careers of Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, as well as their respective group endeavors - Crosby Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young); Poco; and Loggins and Messina - stand as the larger legacy of the Buffalo Springfield.
